Interview with Evelyn Gosnell Harvell, May 27, 1980 (portion title)

Harvell, Evelyn Gosnell 1910-2002 (Interviewee). Tullos, Allen 1950- (Interviewer). Southern Oral History Program. (Added Author). University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Documenting the American South (Project) (Added Author). University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Library. (Added Author).

Summary: Evelyn Gosnell Harvell grew up on a farm owned by her father in Tigerville, SC. In this interview, she recalls her family's life in Tigerville and more than three decades of mill work as a weaver. Harvell shares a number of characteristics with other mill workers interviewed in this collection: she enjoyed a rewarding childhood, she liked the work she did at the mill, and she was suspicious of unions. Harvell's brief answers to the interviewer's questions -- and the interviewer's frequent use of yes-or-no questions -- makes this interview more useful for gathering information than gaining a sense of life in the early 20th-century rural South.
